DYK for Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda

On 24 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda tried to close the file-sharing website Istorrent in 2007–2008, but the Supreme Court of Iceland dismissed the case? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Reverted edit over on template talk page

Hello! Thanks for reverting that edit over at Template talk:Infobox India university ranking/Archive 1. I didn't even notice it was an archive page ... and that you made the comment more than two years ago. Why is it, though, that Wikipedia only notified me of your comment today? see here -- mikeblas (talk) 21:55, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Mikeblas: I have no idea why it pings when I archive. Muhandes (talk) 22:10, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Now I'm getting notifications from you about a "TUSC token". Do you know what that is? -- mikeblas (talk) 23:24, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Mikeblas: that would be the failure of the Convenient Discussions script, also beyond my control. Muhandes (talk) 07:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology University logo.png

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology University logo.png

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 21:56, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Iruka13: The source is the organizations home page. The URL I provided is https://www.thapar.edu/images/logo-ft.png and the home page where the image exists is https://www.thapar.edu. Do you think it is a better source? Also, this is a fair use image, the copyright stats doesn't matter, does it? Muhandes (talk) 22:07, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

It is preferable to provide a link to the page where the image is located, rather than to the image itself.

Didn't understand the last question. — Ирука¹³ 22:16, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Iruka13: Done. Muhandes (talk) 22:19, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Muhandes This logo do not qualify for copyright. It do not meet the threshold for originality needed for copyright protection. It is a trademark. I have reverted your edit on the college's wikipedia page, to its simple logo as is used in its annual reports. VeritasVanguard "Seeking truth in every edit" 11:06, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

@VeritasVanguard: I agree the image you used is not eligible for copyright, thought I'm not sure about the one I use as it has some complexity. I care very little either way. I also care very little about which image you choose to use for the page, but I thought the purpose of the image is to identify the organization. Wouldn't the organization be better identified by the logo on their home page, rather than on their annual reports? Please take this into consideration when deciding which image to use. Muhandes (talk) 15:46, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

@Muhandes, If you ever got to visit this institution, the logo they use offline, has no complexity in 'ti' they use. Neither there is any "complexity" in any of its forms, or notifications. the one you are referring is only used online on their website. (on thapar.edu), their branding is somewhat inconsistent as they use different version of their logos on different websites of theirs. but they use same on every offline things they do. VeritasVanguard "Seeking truth in every edit" 05:39, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

That's certainly a valid argument. Muhandes (talk) 07:35, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Muhandes Since the file you uploaded is not used on any page on Wikipedia, it will be deleted per Wikipedia:F5 on November 18. VeritasVanguard "Seeking truth in every edit" 07:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@VeritasVanguard: I know. I usually go WP:G7 in such cases but I am not the sole author, so we will let it die of WP:F5. There is no need to ping me on my own talk page. Muhandes (talk) 07:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Template:Cite certification

User:Muhandes and User:Anomie: The two edits here Special:Diff/1253576690/1257464120 caused a flood of tracking category entries in Category:CS1 errors: archive-url as can be seen in 2 Times cite #62. I'm not expert enough to figure it out. Can you take a look? -- GreenC 00:42, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

My edit had nothing to do with it. It was just fixing a similar flood of entries in Category:Articles with dead external links by adding a date to the {{dead link}} included in there. Anomie⚔ 00:45, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

OK. Started a discussion at Template_talk:Cite_certification#Tracking_category_problems, follow up there. -- GreenC 01:03, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@GreenC and Anomie: I believe the issue was resolved; see details at Template talk:Cite certification#Tracking category problems. Let me know if there are any problems and, of course, feel free to revert. Note a related request to resolve the dead link issue at Wikipedia:Link rot/URL change requests#nztop40.co.nz redirect and restructure. Muhandes (talk) 15:51, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

OK thank you. I'll probably never understand how this caused the effects at Category:CS1 errors: archive-url ie. populated with 4k members, plus the creation of a sub-category under the "O" heading (the letter), which was also populated with the same 4k members. It was a head twister. But anyway glad the fix works! The cat looks normal now. -- GreenC 18:26, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@GreenC I suppose what caused the category flood was this. It added an archive-url without archive-date, which I should have anticipated. I'm not sure how a sub-category was created. Anyway, lesson learned. Muhandes (talk) 23:35, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I see. If you still want to use the same date for every URL, that is possible. Like you could use a snapshot date of 20200101010101 and archive-date of 2020-01-01 and it will redirect to a nearby working snapshot date. -- GreenC 01:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

These are 4k different links and I don't know if they all have archives. I rather we resolve this properly, when you get to it. Muhandes (talk) 08:14, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
